    Pyramid snails?

    Tonight I noticed a bunch of tiny little snails in my tank. They are on the glass along the bottom of the tank. Admittedly, I haven't done a thorough glass scraping for a bit so there is a bit of algae there... I haven't intro'd anything for quite a while so I have no idea where they came...

    Anemone spawning, what to do!?!?!?!?

    Just before lights out tonight, I looked at my tank and it was cloudy. On closer observation, my bta was shooting out clouds of milky liquid. From the online descriptions, it sounds like he was spawning. I set up a my marineland cannister with the micron filter, and threw on an aquaclear with...

    Fragging large frogspawn

    I have to frag my frogspawn. It's lower parts aren't getting enough light and are starting to bleach. But it's not like any of the frogspawns I see on line when I google for fragging instructions. Most that I see are quite twiggy, with branches that could quite easlily be clipped off. Mine...

    Nems and Marineland Reef Capable lighting

    I'm starting up another tank, with some things I got for insane prices. I can't upgrade anything for a while. It's a 24" x 24" x 24" tank, and I'm going to be running 3 x 24" Marineland Reef Capable LED lights, and one 24" Marineland Double Brights LED light. I'm not set on having a nem in...

    Nem hates 2-part

    I started dosing 2 part (Kent Marine) about a month ago, dosing every other day, because water changes weren't keeping my ca/alk levels up. I've started to notice over the last week or so that the day after I add it, my green BTA really sulks. I pour it into the pump at the opposite end of the...

    Nem in bad shape :-(

    I've had a BTA since May, introduced into a mature tank. He was doing great, settled in fine, and has been totally healthy. Just in the last few weeks, I've noticed a reduced appetite, but I attributed it to the fact that my clowns are constantly feeding him. Over the last couple of weeks...

    Rock crab removal?

    I finally hauled out the rock that my crab is in. It's in a bucket. But he WON"T get out. I don't want to kill him, I have another tank where he can go, but how can I remove a crab I can't reach? I really want to get the rock back in the tank! If I do a fw dip then put him right back into...

    Caulerpa gone sexual

    I put a clump of LR with caulerpa on it in my quarantine tank that has a new mandarin and a 6 line wrasse in it. Overnight, I guess due to lighting changes, it went sexual and I woke up to pea soup in the tank! I did a 50% water change this morning and put purigen in the HOB filter. Is this...

    Ric vs. mini carpet nem

    I hope this isn't an idiotic question :-) I got 3 little hitchhikers on a piece of rock that I thought were just plain mushrooms but now that they've been in the tank for a while, they're getting "bubblier". I've found pics of both mini carpet nems and ricordeas that are similar. Is there a...

    Moving stuff from a tank with flatworms

    I have flatworms in my reef tank. They come, they go, I don't sweat it and I have no desire to risk nuking them with chems. But I have a friend who's just starting a new reef and I'd like to share some stuff from my tank. Is there any sort of dip that would absolutely remove and/or kill...

    Egg clutch?

    I was examining my tank by flashlight tonight, as I do quite often :-) I found this... I have a ton of stomatellas and colonista snails, is this an egg clutch?

    Nem hitchhikers

    A couple of weeks ago, while gazing at my tank with a flashlight at night, I discovered 2-3 tiny little anemones on the underside of a rock. They are so small and colorless that a pic with my little camera would be impossible. They are totally clear with little white tips on the tentacles...

    Coral ID?

    I've had this rock/corals in my tank for a couple of months now but just noticed that the ones on the right send out feeder(?) tentacles once in a while. Anyone know what they are? When I got it, I thought it was the same thing on both sides, at different stages of development but now I'm...
